Are nightclubs generally safe?

Asked at South Wind 12 Theatres and on Massachusetts Street on February 23, 2003

“In the sense that a bunch of people are in a small, crowded space, they were never safe.”

— Adam Elsmore, KU sophomore, Lawrence

“The vast majority are safe because the owners are responsible and want to cooperate in fire safety. It’s unfortunate when a few don’t want to abide by occupancy limitations that are put there for our safety.”
